Ugh.. Stuff in the garden at my hubbys Dads are not doing great with so much rain. Half the stuff planted is not coming up and having to be replanted. Half the cabbage plants died. The carrots and beets are doing good. Potatoes are not doing well at all. He put out 92 tomato plants that are doing ok so far.
Several of my herbs didnt make it. I finally got the chance to weed them all a few days ago. I have a couple of kinds of basil, thyme, sage, curly and flat leaf parsley, cilantro and tons of dill. My rosesmary seeds, chives and oregano didnt make it. My FIL bought two lovely rosemary bushes for me at the greenhouse and planted them in the garden with the others. This winter Im gonna take them up and bring them inside to try and keep them going. Wednesday when we get paid Im going to buy a couple oregano plants and some chives and put them in pots on the balcony. My friend gave me some peppermint with the roots still on that I got started in a pot. I gave it to my FIL who loves mint. I warned him to pick where he puts it carefully cause it will spread lol.
On the bright side so far this summer hasnt been to miserably hot. We had a week or so there where it was getting in the upper 90's. Since then our average has been 86-92 degrees or so.
Since one of our two landlords retired from downstairs things are more relaxed here. The other landlord has another office in a nearby town he also maintains so he isnt here much. I have the handyman's card so when ever something needs repaired we can call him directly if needed. The one fella who retired would have already said something about my little bundle of plants and herbs on the balcony.
